    I booked my teenage daughter in with Syd for a curly cut and style. My daughter was nervous but Syd put her completely at ease. She knew her stuff inside out and gave us lots of styling tips and advice to bring out the curls. My daughter was over the moon with the finished result. She is literally so happy and said it’s the best haircut she’s ever had and she’ll never go anywhere else. Thank you Syd! I’ll be booking in for my (non curly) cut next!

    It was my first time visiting this salon today and felt very welcomed as I walked through the door. I got given complimentary drinks and snacks whilst I was being pampered and looked after. My hairdresser was called Sydney, she was very polite and well-mannered and done a wonderful job which I am very pleased with.

    It was my first time visiting this salon today and from the very start, the girls made it very welcoming for me. They offered me a drink and some snacks once I walked through the door and was very polite. Sydney, who was the stylist who cut my hair, was absolutely fantastic. She was very precise, very friendly and super helpful. She did exactly what I wanted and made me feel very pleased with the outcome. She did beyond my expectations and delivered great results. 10/10!

    Cannot recommend enough. So much care and attention throughout. At the consultation Sydney made sure she completely understood what I liked and honestly advised what would suit me to ensure I would be happy with the result. She exceeded my expectations with the end result, I’m so happy with my hair, beautifully blended and suits my colouring. Was so well looked after during my colour and cut was so pampering. Also advised on products to help my hair for aftercare. Thank you so much
